ARKANSAS

Joyce Elliott (D-AR-02)

“We are not using all of our tools and are instead relying on a president who disregards intelligence briefings, acts on ‘instinct’, never compromises, and only knows how to escalate situations to the very brink. We need a strong Congress that will protect diplomats, trust experts, and push back against a president who believes he can do whatever he pleases.”
